OIE* 




PAPILLTON, JUr.Y 4, 1870. 



S. D. BANGS, Historian. 

At the time that Na| oleori was 
first Cousu! of France, the French 
Dossessions in North America were 
exposed to the marititne power of 
Great Britain, with whom France 
was at war, and vvere really a source 
of weakness to the mother country 
from their remote situation and tlieir 
liability at any moment to fall into 
the hands of the enemy 

In this emergency Napoleon re- 
solved to abandon his cherished no- 
tions of colonial dependencies which 
could not be protected, and entered 
into negotiations with the United 
States for their relinquishment. 

In 1803 a treaty was consummated 
between the two countries, which se- 
curt'd to the United States the whole 
of this vast territory for the sum of 
§15,000,000. 

The F^ouisiana purchase (although 
unauthorized by the Constitution) is 
an imperishable memorial of the 
wisdom of Jetlerson's administration. 

It extended the broad domain of 
the Republic from the Mississippi to 
the Pacific. It opened out its im- 
mense resources to the struggling 
masses of the old and new world, 
and States and Territories have 
arisen within its borders possessing 
every variety of soil and climate, and 
rich in mineral and agricultural 
wealth. 

In 1804 an expedition ivas fitted 
out by the U. S. Government, under 
commanil of Capts. Lewi- and Clark, 
tor the purpose of exploring this 
newly acquired Territ ry, and a viv- 
id description is given in their jour- 
nals of their ascending the Missouri 
river in boats from St. Louis, and 
touching at a point 9 miles above the 
mouth ot the Platte river within the 
present limits of Sarpy County. 



It is stated that in 1S05 Manuel 
Lesa, a Spanish adventurer, with his 
party, visited the site t-n which 
Bellevue is now situated, and upon 
viewing the magnificent panorama 
that was spread before them, Capt. 
Lesa with a spontaneous burst of 
admiration, exclaimed, "Belle vue!" 
(or beautiful view] a name by which 
it has since been recognized. 

In 1810 the American Fur Compa 
ny established a trading post at 
Bellevue, and appointed Francis l^e 
Roin Indian Trader, who was suc- 
ceeded Ijy Joseph Robideux, who 
served a term of &ix years, when his 
place was supplied by John Cabanne 
until superceded in 1824 by Col. 
Peter A. Sarpy, the distinguished In- 
dian Trader, who continued in that 
capacity for about thirty years. 

In 1823 Council Bluffs Indian 
Agency at FortCalhonn was removed 
to Bellevue, and included in its lim- 
its the Omaha, Otoe, Pawnee and 
Pottowatamie tribes of Indians. 

In 1834 the Rev. Moses Merrill, a 
Baptist Missionary, ci-ected a Mission 
House among the Otoes, A stone 
chimney still remains to point the 
spot where a faithful Missionary sac- 
rificed his litein"the discharge of his 
duty. He died in 1535, and at the 
request ot his wife was buried on the 
Iowa side of the Missouri. His wife 
and child returned to ths New Eng- 
land States, and the river has long 
since washed away all traces of his 
lai^t resting place. The property on 
which the Mission stood is now owned 
by John F. Payne, who has resided 
there thirteen years. 

In the fall of 1834 Samuel Allis 
and Rev. John Dunbar, under the 
direction of the Presbyterian board 
of Missions, arrived at tne agency at 
Bellevue, in company with Major 



John Dougherty, Indian Agent to Bellevue was established. This year

In 184!i the Nel)raska post office at The 4th of July, 1854, was ob- 



served with much enthusiasm. An 
immense vine-clad arbor was erect- 
ed near the agency bnildings; the 
star spangled banner floated in the 
breeze, and a salute was fired for 
each state in the Union, including 
one for the new territory. D. E. 
Reed acted as chairman. Among the 
toasts was one by L. B. Kinney, viz: 
"Bellevae. the belle of the west; the 
center of our uni->n," which was r^- 
sponded to in appropriate terms. 
Another toast by Stephen Decatur, 
viz: "Nebraska! the Key stone of 
the federal arch," elicited the wild- 
est applause. 

Bellevue h.is the credit of publish- 
ing the first newspaper in the terri- 
tory, which appeared on the loth of 
July 1854. and was entitled "The 
Nebraska Palladivm''' — D. E. Reed, 
editor and proprietor. It wa& print- 
ed at St. Mary's, Iowa until the mid- 
dle of Noveml)er, 185-*-, when it was 
brought over the river and placed in 
the south wing of tlie McKinney 
House. V)r. E. N. Upjohn, now re- 
siding in the county, struck off the 
first paper avd 'I'homas Mo'lon set 
up the fir»t column of the first news- 
paper printed in the territory. It 
died a natural death in April, 1855. 

In Octol)er, ISS-t the Territorial of- 
fic irs appointed by President Pierce 
for this "^1 erri.ory be -an ta arrive. 

Gov. Francis Burt o' South Caro- 
lina, and his staff landed at BelUevue 
on the 8th of Oct., 1854. followed 
shortly after b^ the Secretary, Hon. 
Thomas B Cyumiiig. On the 11th 
Chief Justice Feniier Ferguson ar- 
rived at the same place, each of whom 
were received with the honors due 
their respective stations. Gov. Burt 
exhibited symptoms of disease on his 
arrival, which proved fatal on the 18th 
of Oct., 1854. Hq died at the Mis- 
sion Hou e of a disease that baffled 
the shill of Ms physicians, who be- 
stowed on him the most unremitting 
attention. H« also received the ut- 
most care and kindn. ss from Rev. 
Wm. Hamilton, V ith whem he was 
staying as an invited guest. His re- 
mains were taken to Pendleton, 
South Carolina, his former home, un- 
der a buitable escort. 



Deputations and citizens from Ne- 
braska City, Plattsnsouth, and other 
points, waited upon Gov. Burt, each 
urging their respective claims fo" the 
location of the Capitol, and it was 
his intention to have examined each 
point and then decided upon the 
most meritorious one for its location; 
but being prostrated by sickness he 
was unable to do so, and a<^ter his 
death a pubh'c meeting was hekl, at 
which the acting Governor made a 
proposition to locate the Capitol at 
Bellevue uroviding the Mission and 
Town Co. would donate to him 100 
acres off the North and of the M's- 
sioH Reserve, which was indignantly 
refused, and in a few dajs Omaha 
was selected as the future (^apitol of 
the Ter'-itory. 

As emigration poured into the 
Territory, it was deemed necessary to 
oiganize claim clubs t« protect actu 
al settlers in the possession of their 
claims on the public laods, and the 
first claim club north of the Platte 
river was organized at Bellevue in 
the tall of 1854. with Judge Wm. 
Gi1m<.r as President and James 
Gow, C. T. Holloway, and Abner W. 
Hollister as committee to draft a 
censtitution and by-laws. 

The boufidaries of the various 
counties in the Territory having been 
defined, Douglas County included all 
of what is now Sarpy Conty, and on 
the 20th of November, 1854, was 
appointed four Councilmen and eight 
Representatives, in accordance vvith 
tho first sensus returns made by the 
acting Governor. The County of 
Douglas was divided into two elec- 
tion precincts, viz: the Omaha and 
Bellevue precincts. 

Nov. 30th, 1854 having been ap- 
pointed by the Acting Governor, T. 
B. Cuming, as Thanksgiving day, it 
was observed at the Mission House 
with services by Rev, Wm. Hamilton. 

At the election for Representatives 
to the Territorial Legislature, held 
Dec. 12th, 1854, Bellevue precinct 
polled 93 votes, and elected S. A. 
Strickland Chas. T. Holloway, Ste-

last respects, the Indians filed around

COL. PETBB A. SARPY. 

In April 1355 Col. Peter A. Sarpy 
was keeping a store at St, Marys, 
Towa, then a station on the stage 
route from St. .Toe to Council Bluffs. 
As my destination was Bellevue Ne- 
braska, 1 stopped here and alighted 
from the stage with Col. Gilmore, a 
friend of Sa'-py, who received us 
with a cordial and affectionate greet- 
ing. We were invited to the store 
where reireshments were served, and 
I had a good opportunity to observe 
the ec3entr)C't!es of our worthy host. 
He Vras about 55 years of age; rather 
below the medium height; blae'c hair, 
dark complexion; well knit and com- 
pact frame, and a heavy ijeard that 
had scorned a razor's touch for many 
a year. His maiiner was command- 
ing; his address fluent, and in the 
presence of the opposite sex polished 
and refined. Col. Sarpy was of 
French extraction, and educated in 
St. Louis, where his relatives occu- 
pied high social )30s;tions. He pre 
ferred the freedom of the western 
prairies to the society and refinement 
of civilized life, and was never hap- 
pier than in visiting the Omaha 
wigwams under the b'uffs near the 
old trading post, who looked upon 
him as their Ne-ka-gah-he, or Big 



Chief. To one of their number — 
Ne-ko-ma his reputed wife — he was 
more than once indebted for the pre- 
servation of his life when attacked 
by hostile Indians. She had been 
the wife of Dr. Cole, the surgeon of 
the post at the Indian Agency at 
Fort Calhoun. Her influence with 
the trioe was unbounded, and to 
please her they were often feasted at 
Sarpy's expense. She is now living 
at the Omaha Agency enjoying a 
pension from his estate. Bnt T am 
digressing. The con versation turned 
xapon the action of the Acting Gov- 
ernor in removing the capitol from 
Bellevue to Omaha; the killing of 
Hollistpr by Dr. Henry, and other 
topics of general interest in the new- 
ly organized Territory; and while 
Sarpv portrayed in glowing colors the 
noble traits of the red man arid the 
injustice and wrong they had suffered 
at the hands of the whites, he was 
interrupted b} a tall, gaunt looking 
specimen of humanity, who ap- 
proached him and said: "This talk 
about the Indians as good, brave and 
intelligent may suit you traders 
who have been enriched by exchang- 
ing your gew-gaws for thei'' valuable 
buffalo robes and defrauding them of 
their annuities; but I have lived 
among them too, and I know them 
to be a lying, thieving, treacherous 
race, incapable of distinguishing 
right from wrong, and the sooner 
they are exterminated the better it 
will be for the country," Sarpy ad- 
vanced to the front of the speaker, 
and in an excited manner addiessed 
him in reply: "Do you know who I 
am, sir?" With emphasis: "I am 
Peter A. Sarpy, sir; the old horse on 
the sand bar, sir! If you want to 
fighl sir, I'm your man, sir! I can 
whip the devil, sir! Choose your 
weapons, sir; bjwie-knife, shot-gun 
or revolver, sir! I'm your man, sir!" 
He snapped his pistol at the lighted 
candle ©n the table, a distance of 
about three paces, which left us ixi 
total darkness, when the stranger 
availed himself of chis opportunity 
to make his exit by the side door,

Benton House was completed and 
kept as a hotel by Geo. .Jenning-s, and 
the Mission House converted into a 
iiotel kept by Jas. T. Allen, and 
known as the Bellevue House. A 
citv organization for Bellevue was 
efFeJted in the election of Reuben 
Lovejoy Mayor, and Wm. D. Rowles, 
J. T. Allen and A. H. Burtch Alder- 
men. " Yoiiag America,^'' a nexvspa- 
per printed at Bellevue by Wm. M. 
Thompson, figured about this time, 
but was shortlived. It was succeed- 
ed by the "Bellevue Gazette,'''' which 
launched its first number to the pub- 
lic Oct. 23id 1856. 

The Presbyterian church was com- 
pleted in 1856, and Rev. Wm. Ham- 
ilton installed as minister in charge. 

At an election held in November, 
1S56, Gen. L. L. Bo wen and J. S. 
Allen were ejected Councilinen of 
this election district, andS. A. Strick- 
land, C. T. HoUoway, John Finney 
and Joseph Dyson Representatives; 
and through their exertions Sarpy 
County was set oflF from Douglas 
County and its present boundaries 
defined by an Act ol the J legislative 
Assembly vi Nebraska, approved 
Feb.7th, 1S57. Gen. L. L. Bowen, 
C. T. HoUowcXy and S. A. Strickland 
were the commissioners appointed to 
locate the County Seat, and Belle- 
vue was selected. 

The first election after the organi- 
zation of the county v^as held May 
35th, 1857. Wm. H. Cook was elect- 
ed Judge of Probate; C. D. Keller, 
Register of Deeds; S. D. Bangs, Co. 
Clerk; W. F. Wiley, Co. Treasurer; 
H. A. Longsdorf, Supt. of Common 
Schools; W. H. Hai'vey, Co. Survey- 
or; John M. Enoch, -Sheriff, and John 
B. Glover, Robert McCarty, and 
Philander Cook, County Commission- 
ers. 

The County Commissioners held 
their first session, which was a spe- 
cial session, on the 19th of June, 
1857, at the Court House in Bellevue. 
They next met in regular session Ju- 
ly 6th, 1857, and divided the county 
into three commissioner's districts 
and two election precincts, known as 
the Bellevue and Plattford precincts. 
The Clerk was instructed to issue 



notices of the general election for 
Territorial and Countv officers, to be 
held Aug. 3rd, 1857. " 

At thi- election the Hon. Fenrser 
Ferguson, of Sarpy Co., having re- 
ceived the aighest number of votes, 
was elected delegate to Congress. 
He resided at Bellevue until his 
death which occurred Nov. 11th, 1859. 
His successor as Chief Justice was 
the Hon. Augustus Hall, of Iowa, who 
arrived in Bellevue witn his tamily 
in March 1858, and died at his resi- 
dence near that place Feb. 1st, 1861.

We have said thus much in refer- 
ence to the early history of Bellevue, 
as it is intimately connected with the 
history of the Territory before and 
since its organization. We have 
many historical facts and reminiscen- 
ces relating to other portions of Sar- 
py County, which must necessarily 
be omitted in this article for want of 
time, but which will appear in the 
complete history of the county. 

LA PLATTE. 

The original town of La Platte was 
situated directly on the Missouri riv- 
er, iietween the Platte river and Pa- 
pillion creek, and east ot its present 
location. In 1855 the proprietors cf 
the town — Gen. W. Larimer, Col. R. 
Hoi^ebooni, B. P. Rankin and Gov. 
Cuming — .erected a double log house 
as a hotel, and built a steam saw- 
mill costing $7,000. Daniel Turner, 
Rev. John Hughes and G. W. Tozier 
were among the first settlers. The 
town, from its proximity to the river, 
was subject to periodical overflows, 
and in 1856 was abandoned fo; high- 
er ground. A new town west oi 
there, extending to the edge of the 
table land, was organized and platted 
by Larimer & Hogeboom, who pur- 
chased the land owned by Turner & 
Hughes, and it was named "Larimer" 
in honor of one ol its founders. The 
first hotel was built by Col. Hoge- 
boom and kept by Mr. Shannon. 

Between this place and the Mis- 
souri river a town named Platona was 
surveyed and Platted by Daniel 
Gantt, who built a hotel. This town 



has long since ceased to exist. 

Another town east of this and the 
Missouri river, called Triaqua, shared 
the same fate. 

The present town of La Platte was 
laid out by the O. & S. W. R. R. Co. 
in 1870, and is situated neaily in the 
south east corner of the county, em- 
bracing a portion of the onginal 
Larimer town site. It may be said to 
command the key to the Platte Val 
ley, being not Tar from the junction 
of the Platte river with the Missouri. 
The limestone quarries a short dis- 
tance al)Ove town and south-west, af- 
ford employment to large numbei's. 
Tne stone is shipped to Omaha, Lin- 
coln, and other points by the B. & M. 
R. R. Co.. who have an excellent sta- 
tion at this place. There is a hotel, 
grist mill, store, blacksmith shop and 
other buildings, and a good shipping 
trade is cai'ried on in grain and other 
articles of merchandize. 

The railroad bridge crosses the 
Platte river near this place, and is on 
the line of the B. & M. Railroad. 

FAIUriRW 

was designed l)y its origina^'ors as a 
suitable locatit)n for the fucuie Coun- 
ty Seat. It IS about ten miles from 
the mouth of the Platte river, on a 
high and lieautiful plateau, and sur- 
rounded by well improved farms. 
The Methodists have a flourishing 
Church and Sunday School in opera- 
tion. As a town it has proved to be 
a failure. 

PAPILLIOJ^. 

As early as 1857 John L. Beadle, 
of New York, visited this county 
and pieempted aooition of the land 
on which Papillion now stands. He 
was a practical man and had studied 
the topography of the country with 
a view to its future developemen*^. 
He Considered this point in the Pa- 
pillion Valley as the natural outlet to 
the rich agricultural countr^^ extend- 
ing south and west to the Platte riv- 
er, and believing that the Nation's 
highway to the PaciHc would in time 
traverse this valley to reach the 
Platte, his faith in its future prosper- 
ity was unbounded, and had he lived 
he would have seen his fondest wishes 



realized in the beautiful little town 
which is now our County Seat, and 
around which in future the historical 
associations of the county will clus- 
ter. 

The first building erected was by 
Dr. D. E. Beadle (a brother of John 
L. Beadle) in Nov., 1869, and the 
town surveyed and piAtted in 
Oct., 1870. He also started the first 
store in Jan., 1870, and sold his in- 
terest to Sander & Bro. in August of 
the same year. 

S. M. Pike, who owned the land 
adjoining on the south, had a portion 
of it surveyed and platted as "South 
Papillion," and from this time its 
growth has been steady, until now 
the population reaches about 400. 

The "Sarpy Co. /Sentinel!'^ edited 
by Geo. T. Hatfield, was published 
here, and tifterwards by J. C. New- 
beriy, until its removal to Sarpy Cen- 
tre during the exciting canvass for 
County Seat in 1875. 

The "Papill.'on Times"' commenced 
its publication in November, 1874, 
with A. R. Kennedy as editor, who 
has continued in that capacity ever 
since. 

The court house and public school 
both built of brick, are (jrnaments 
to the tjvvn. There are also a num- 
ber of tasteful private residerices. 
There are two good hotels, several 
stores, a flouring mill, warehouses, 
shops, public hall and post office. Al- 
so a German Methodist church. Sev- 
eral other churches are in contempla- 
tion. 

This being an important station on 
the U P. railroad, a large amount of 
grain is annually shipped at this 
point. 

SARPY CENTRE 

lies nearly in the geographical center 
of the county. The idea of layiag 
out a town was fiist cenceived by 
Capt. J. D. Spearman, who purchased 
the land. A company was organized 
and the town surveyed and platted 
in 1875. For a time it disputed gal- 
lantly with Papillion for the County 
Seal, but was defeated at the last gen- 
eral election. 

There is a good hotel, store, black- 
smith shop, and other buildings. 



The "Sarpv Co. SentineV is pub- 
lished here. 

There are good roads converging 
at this point from every direction, 
and an excellent business is carried 
on with the surrounding country, 

FOEKST CITY 

was organized as a town A pril 18th, 1858, 
with Barney Scott, Peter Forbes, Mathew 
J. Shields, ^\m. Sayles and Geo. B. Ack- 
ley as Trustees. It is a town of modest 
pretentions, and has never boasted of a 
large population. It is settled by an in- 
dustrious, thriving people, and as its nat- 
ural resources become developed the town 
will improve, and should the projected 
bridge across the Platte, connecting Saun- 
ders with Sarpy Couuty, be built at or 
near this point, its tuture prosperity is 
doubly assured. 



GILMOBB, 
on the U. P. Railroad, 10 miles from 
Omaha, was laid out by the U. P. K. K. 
Co., who built a substantial depot on the 
line at this point. David Leach after- 
wards laid out an addition to the town. 
These parties have since succeeded in 
having it vacated. 

Papillion City, laid out in 1857, at a 
point about 2% miles north-east of the 
present town of Papillioa; Plattford, 
Hazleton, towns in this county organ- 
ized in an early day, have long since re- 
turned to their primitive state. 

We have thus taken a retrospective view 
of some of the events that have transpired 
in the early liistory of Sarpy County, p'c- 
ferring in this centennial year to omit its 
later history, as this will eventually be 
embodied in the general history of the 
County
